Self-Cleaning Oven
A self-cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures (well above cooking
temperatures) which eliminate soil completely or reduce it to a fine powdered
ash you can wipe away with a clamp cloth
1_ Adhere to the following cleaning precautions:
• Allow the oven to cool before precteaning
o Wear rubber gloves when precteaning and while wiping up the residue
after the self-clean cycle.
• DO NOT use oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or around any
part of the self-cleaning oven,
o DO NOT clean the oven door gasket The woven material of the oven
door gasket is essential for a good seal Care shouid be taken not to rub,
damage or remove the gasket
, DO NOT use any cleaning materials on the oven door gasket Doing so
could cause damage
2 Remove the broiler pan, its insert, and all utensils and any aluminum
foil. These items cannot withstand high cleaning temperatures°
3 Oven racks may be left in the oven or may be removed If they go through
the clean cycle their color will turn slightly blue and the finish will be dull
After the cycle iscomplete and the oven has cooled, rub the sides of the
racks with wax paper or a cloth containing a small amount of baby oil or
salad oil (this will make the racks glide easier into the rack position).
4 Remove any excess spillovers in the oven cavity before starting the self-
cleaning cycle To clean, use hot, soapy water and a cloth Large spillovers
can cause heavy smoke or fire when subjected to high temperatures DO
NOT allow food spills with a high sugar or acid content (such as milk,
tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juicesor pie filling) to remain on the surface as
they may cause a dull spot even after cleaning
5 Clean any soil from the oven frame, the door liner outside the oven door
gasket and the small area at the front center of the oven bottom, These
areas heat sufficiently to burn soil on Clean with soap and water
Stopping or Interrupting a Self-Cleaning Cycle
If it becomes necessary to stop or interrupt a self-cleaning cycle due to excessive
smoke or fire:
1 Push CLEAR.
2 Once the oven has cooled down for about t HOUR and the "LOCK" light
has gone out, the oven door can be opened
3 Correct the condition which caused the smoking
4 Restart the self-clean cycle once all conditions have been corrected_
_DO NOT force the oven door open This can damage the
automatic door locking system Use caution when opening the door after the
self<leaning cycle is completed The oven may still be VERY HOT
